As a native spanish speaker I really would have loved you kept your runic alphabet that latin chopped to the ground. That accent you hear from us? is all the fault of using an alphabet that simply does not have the sounds english has. I love spanish, but is an incredibly poor language regarding sounds, thats why we will always pronounce "Luke" and "look" the same.

If english was written with symbols that made those differences obvious, we would improve so much regarding accent, unfortunately you learn by reading most of the time, so we end up sounding the way we sound.

For example, in Year 1 that useless letter c would be dropped to be replased either by k or s, and likewise x would no longer be part of the alphabet. The only kase in which c would be retained would be the ch formation, which will be dealt with later.

Year 2 might reform w spelling, so that which and one would take the same konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish y replasing it with i and Iear 4 might fiks the g/j anomali wonse and for all.

Jenerally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with Iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and Iears 6-12 or so modifaiing vowlz and the rimeining voist and unvoist konsonants.

English is a clean-looking language without any diacritical marks, which is why I hate when Wikipedia articles use them, even in foreign names. Nevertheless, think of how much easier English would be if we made only one alphabetic change: adding schwa.

Ampersand trivia. Though it means 'and' when used in movie credits 'and' and '&' have a significant difference. '&' between two writers names means they wrote as a team and created one script. 'And' means two writers wrote a script each and elements of both were used.
